Here are a few clips from the Showcase event where the top throwers from the distance competition get to throw across the lake just before the USDGC Awards ceremony on Saturday. The last clip is Jeremy Koling (Advanced World Champ 2008) who they think is the first to clear the lake with a forehand. Click to go full screen so you can see the disc better.

His entire body is set up for that "whip". Huge guy at 6' 6" I would think, and an arm span that has to be larger than his height. Its fun playing rounds with him, but you can't steal any of the lines he takes because I don't think there is anyone who has as smooth a sidearm as he does.

I forgot to mention how much lower Avery's drives were compared to everyone else's. Even if Maceman wasn't announcing who was throwing, I could tell when Avery was throwing because his lines were so different from the others'. He threw a few on the big D line that the others used but usually they were significantly lower.

And I thought it was cool to see Coda haphazardly rip a 500' line drive in the prelims. That thing never got more than 4' off the ground and it looked like he just smoothed it; no muscle involved.
